Default Pick up Robidas for J. Jokinen, or continue with 3/4 defense?

Since Markov's injury, I haven't grabbed a 4th defenseman. I'm currently considering dropping Jokinen though, as he hasn't been making a compelling argument to stay on my roster.

Robidas seems to be the best available blueliner, or perhaps Cam Fowler. Should I drop Jussi and go back to a 4th defenseman, or leave that roster spot empty and carry on with the extra forward?

Thanks.

Well the one thing about a D guy is that he will play for you every game he is available - that 9th F probably doesn't get into your starting lineup nearly as often as Robidas will. I just dumped Lupul for Robidas but I was down to 2 D guys with 4 spots so it really made sense and Robidas is fairly cruising right now.

I would think about Fowler before I went to Robidas for this one. I still think Jokinen will turn it around, but you can't argue with Shoeless' point that a 4th defensemen will get in your lineup every time they play.

I would also drop Jussi and take the chance on Fowler!

I'm certainly aware of the fact that my extra forward is only getting about 75% utilization.

Given that it's only a semi-keeper, I'm not sure Fowler is the go-to guy. Robidas is likely to carry a better +/- and more PIMs down the stretch, as well as similar point totals, no?

Also, I'm still keen on Jussi's abilities, and reluctant to drop him. I could possibly drop Tanguay instead, but he seems to be on a bit of a roll of late.

Thanks for all the feedback.

No way I drop Tanger over Jussi really Jussi only has one good year under his belt and Tanger is having a solid comeback year in CGY

I agree with your thoughts on Robidas I just like to take chances and I like that Fowler kid.

Thanks guys, I dropped Jussi for Robidas. I'm keeping a close eye on Fowler, though. May swap either Robidas or Pitkanen for Fowler by the end of December, depending on how things go.

My input is too late, but I'd take Fowler over Robidas in a heartbeat. Not at the end of December but right now.
